Did World War III just expand into the Middle East in recent days? An Israeli drone attack on an Iranian weapons factory may have been the starting gun for the Ukraine-Russia NATO war to move into a Middle Eastern theater. Doc Burkhardt and I will walk you through recent events to substantiate our view that the Russia-Ukraine NATO war now includes Israel and Iran. Doc, as I went through this today, as I was researching, I was actually, I was surprising myself how serious this was. I had a hunch. I had a theme of what I wanted to work on today.

But the deeper I went into it, the more I was convinced something big just happened in the last several days that has now moved the Ukraine-Russia NATO war into the Middle East. We may see fighting in the Middle East this year connected to the Ukraine-Russia war. I want to walk our audience through this series. These are all recent stories. We're going to go back to just before Christmas and show you a Times of Israel article. This was published December 22, 2022. Christmas and show you a Times of Israel article. This was published December 22, 2022. Kiev calls for the liquidation of Iranian plants building weapons for Russia.

Now, there's your starting point. Right. Just weeks ago, days before Christmas, Zelensky's government calling for somebody, anybody, to liquidate, to destroy, to blow up Iranian defense contractors. So who's an enemy of Iran? Well, someone pretty close in the region, Israel. They would be in a position to liquidate absolutely so you know the um the story and i you know i i i think it's it's uh real is that russia has been buying missiles and drones from iran they've been using these suicide drones in uk, which are the weapons that they're using to plow into the electric utility plants.

Now, Iran's response to that is we are not currently doing, but yes, we have sold drones to Russia in the past. Right. But we also have had reports that Iranian crews were helping to, you know, provide technical assistance to the drones and everything. So Iran is involved one way or another. And then there was a report in December that Russia had agreed to sell Sukhoi fighter jets to Iran. That's right. So there's a reciprocal defense trade deals going

on now between Russia and Iran. So there's the first one we saw. The Ukraine government calling for somebody to liquidate Iranian defense contractors that are building weapons for Russia. Now we'll move to January 9 of this year. And this is Voice of America. Iran on agenda when U.S. National Security Advisor visits Israel. Of course, this is Jake Sullivan. So Mr. Sullivan went to Israel in recent days, and according to this VOA report,

the purpose of his visit was to talk about Iran. And you can imagine if he's talking to Israeli leaders, Bibi Netanyahu and others, you can imagine what the conversation was about. Number two, or number three, this is January 23rd. U.S. Secretary of State Blinken to visit Israel on Monday. So that's Monday of this week that he actually came to Israel. And so, and the whole plan, of course, was to, well, they are saying to meet with the new Netanyahu government. But of course, we know Ukraine and Iran were on the agenda for Israel. There was another story in between there too, Rick. Remember back on the 17th that the U.S. dipped into the surplus ammunition supplies in Israel to be shipped to Ukraine. And so that was the week before.

So that's another piece of the puzzle here. Now, come up to this week now. This is the 26th this is the journal reporting wall street journal that israel and the u.s. sent message to iran with biggest ever military exercises of course this was has been going on for the past oh week and a half almost two weeks now and more than 180,000 pounds of live munitions were fired and thousands of military took part in the exercise. They made it clear in announcements about this exercise that the purpose of it was Iran. They've made it very clear. They're not fighting Greece. They're not fighting, you know, someplace else.

They've got Iran in mind. And so we have Mr. Blinken, Secretary of State in Israel. We have Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor, went to Israel. We also have another high-level Biden administration official in Israel. That's the CIA director, Mr. Burns. And so here's a I-24 TV news report from Israel. American CIA Chief William Burns visits Israel in the West Bank. So I doubt if they're just getting a great discount on airfare to Israel over the past week or so. It's because there's something in the works here. Something is going on. You get that many high level American officials in one country at the same time. When I say the same time, all within days of each other at the same time.

Right. The biggest ever joint military drill between Israel and the United States is actually ongoing at the same time. And one more thing happens. And that's. Well, before I get to that one, we got an interfax russia report uh secretary blinken invited israel to provide military assistance to ukraine that just came out today i like that word invited invite that's today that just came out hours ago mr blinken has asked Israel to formally openly provide military assistance to Ukraine so the United States as you pointed out dipped into the U.S. stockpile of weapons and ammo in Ukraine

I mean in Israel meant for the defense of Israel and the U.S. asked Israel to ship it to Ukraine and obviously we replenished that stash. But now Mr. Blinken is asking Israel to provide military assistance to Ukraine. Does that mean giving more U.S. weapons to Ukraine or Israeli-made weapons? I don't know. Because we're the ones that send the weapons. Right. And we basically... And they don't buy them.

Right. We give it to them. We give it to them. All right, so now, where is this going? Here's the big story that happened over the weekend. This is a Wall Street Journal. Israel drone strike hit Iranian weapons facility. All right.

So let's go through the story here. It looks like, you know, just same story you hear out of the Middle East on a regular basis between Israel and Iran. But there could be more to it. They've never bombed Iran. Yes. This isn't an Iranian plant in Syria or Lebanon. No, this is in Iran. It's in Iran.

Israel bombed the soil of Iran. They bombed Persia over the weekend. Well, let's walk folks through the story here an israeli drone strike inside iran hit an advanced weapons production facility in an attack that israel believes achieved its goals according to people familiar with discussions about the operation now the operation took place sunday morning it was executed by israel's intelligence agency the massad and targeted a ministry of defense site in isfahan in central iran hitting a building in four different areas with precision strikes. Now people said the Ministry of Defense site that was targeted Sunday was a weapons production facility. It stands

across the street from a site belonging to the Iran Space Research Center which has been sanctioned by the US for its work on Iran's ballistic missile program. Now the Space Research Center houses the Institute for Materials and Energy, which conducts research that could be used in the development of drones, missiles, satellites, and for testing metals for the nuclear projects at Ronan Solomon and Independent Intelligence Analysts in Israel. So this was a drone strike that took place on their advance, Iran's DARPA, if you will, and right across the street from Iran's NASA. And so this was a surgical strike

and it's pretty obvious who carried it out. All the sources are pointing toward Israel and particularly the Mossad. There's no condemnation from anybody about this. One of the stories I read today, Doc, said that the drones were Chinese made. Interesting. And they took off from inside Iran, which means if the Israelis did it, the Israelis purchased Chinese made drones, smuggled them to Iran, weaponized them, and they took off from inside

Iran. They didn't cross airspace. They were flying inside Iranian airspace. So that way they're not crossing international borders or anything like that. And they're not Israeli-made. They're Chinese-made.

That's pretty slick. Pretty slippery. To get your fingerprints off of a crime. Times of Israel reporting Mossad, a spy agency, carried out Iran defense facility strike for Israel's own interest. Well, who else's interest would they be uh defending it's obviously they did it for themselves well there might be somebody else they're considering here because they went out of their way to deny something here the drone attack on a defense facility in the iranian city of isfahan was carried out by israel to protect its own security interest. Okay, let's leave it there.

But then it goes on to say, and not to prevent weapons exports to Russia, according to a New York Times report on Sunday. Oh, wait a minute here. So the Saturday strike was carried out by the Mossad intelligence agency, according to the newspaper, which cited senior U.S.s intelligence officials so they're getting this information from u.s intelligence officials here regarding the strike but notice how they go out of their way to say and not to prevent weapons exports to russia so unnamed sources inside u.s intelligence agencies told the new york times that israel's intelligence agency massad carried out

carried out the strikes israel did it for its own interest and the u.s did not ask israel to attack iran iranian defense contractors that were making weapons for russia to go to ukraine because we should certainly wouldn't want that to happen, would we? But it wasn't the Israelis who said it. It was the U.S. intelligence agencies who told the New York Times, hey, we'll tell you why Israel did it, and we'll tell you why they didn't do it. Here's our narrative. Here's our story. It had nothing to do with ukraine what we are presenting to you today is the very real possibility that the u.s intelligence agencies in the pentagon just moved world war iii into the middle east and russia knows yes they know uh continue on with the times

of israel story the report noted that isfahan is a hub for Tehran's missile industry. We've talked about that. Iran has yet to deliver missiles to Russia despite reports since October that it plans to do so. But Tehran has been supplying Shahed-136 suicide drones for the Kremlin's use in the nearly year-long invasion of ukraine now these kamikaze drones have been deployed to attack ukrainian civilian sites and critical infrastructure facilities since september some reports have said that the alleged israeli strike targeted iran's drone program now jerusalem post look at Jerusalem Post. Look at this headline. Russia sends veiled threat to Israel and U.S. over Iranian weapons depot blast. So the Russians appeared to have issued a veiled threat against Israel and the United States on Monday when it condemned an attack on an Iranian weapons depot,

as U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times however alleged that Israel was behind the attack. Now there was speculation that the facility was connected either to Iran's nuclear program or to its production of the kind of missiles or drones that could have been shipped to Moscow for its war against Ukraine. Notice how they're starting to slip this in here now. Now, the Russian foreign ministry said on Monday, we strongly condemn any provocative efforts that have the potential to provoke an

uncontrolled escalation of tensions in a region that's far from being peaceful as it is, according to a statement published by TASS. All right, let's just hold up right there. Yes, sir. Let's look at what the foreign ministry, this would be under Sergei Lavrov, saying we condemn, strongly condemn, provocative efforts that have the potential

to provoke an uncontrolled escalation out of control escalation not an incremental escalation the russians said this could provoke an uncontrolled escalation of tensions in a region the middle east that's far from being peaceful as it is right now. In other words, the Russians said, what you guys just did risk exploding with violence and fighting and warfare throughout the Middle East. And the Russian foreign ministry doubled down on that statement by saying such destructive actions could have unpredictable consequences for peace and stability in the middle east that has to be understood by the organizers of the brazen raid their backers and those who are gloating over the issue holding on to the

futile hope for the weakening of iran let's keep that quote up for just a moment let's identify you want to put names on them okay the organizers of the brazen raid who would you say that's israel they're backers the u.s and nato and who's gloating uh all everybody that can crow and particularly zelinski yes so now remember we start off the story today with with Zelensky asking for the eradication of Iran's weapons facilities. Well, he got his birthday present here this week. He's getting everything that he demands. Yes. All he has to do is speak it out, and he gets it one way or another.

Within weeks or a month, he has what he's demanding. He wanted tanks, he got tanks. Now he wants F-16s, long-range missiles, and the story last week, submarines. So now, Rick, we've kind of laid out the case here that Russia russia knows what that the jig is up on this well the the jewish news syndicate is also seeing it with the same viewpoint that we have they published this story the russia iran axis may prompt the west to see israel with new eyes and in the article itself it says the islamic republic's drones are not only intended for israel but for ukraine as well what i see out of this situation doc is the u.s has given permission to israel to bomb iran and i and i don't i don't mean just surgical strikes i believe netanyahu

has been given the green light to destroy iran well that would make sense with the visit of blinken sullivan burns all of them in just such a short period of time and the biggest war game ever in the history of the middle east i believe b Bibi Netanyahu has been given the green light. Thumbs up. Go for it. Take them out. So they have an excuse to take Iran out now. They can justify it by saying, well, they're supplying weapons to Ukraine.

So we're doing our part to win World War III. And now we've brought Israel into it as well. So they've been vacillating now for the past year you know trying to beat his back yes and he's got he likes war you know he loves war and he hates iran and he's wanted to destroy iran for decades he finally is in a place that everything's lining up for him. There's a justification. He can justify destroying Iran.

All he has to say is they are supplying weapons to Russia. Russia is using them against Ukraine. Let us let Israel go in and take out the Iranians. We'll do our part to win the war. That's what I see happening. To free Ukraine. Yes. Big Israel.

So the next one, well, where does this go after war? And my view is that this isn't, I really, it's the other way around. What I'm going to show you is not the the response to the war it's just the other way around the war is the response to what I'm going to show you right this next story London Times Russia and Iran connect banking systems to avoid Western sanctions. The purpose of the war is that the Western globalists, whatever you want to call these people, Freemasons, demoniacs, globalists, New World Order, freaks, I don't care what name you want to put on them. They're the rulers of the West, international banksters, criminals, pedophiles, whatever name you want to, you can put any name on them. It's a criminal cabal and their time is up their time to dominate the world is over their meter is expired it's over

talk empires come and go cycles turn and this cycle has turned the west has dominated the world for 500 years this 500 year cycle is now rolling over like an odometer and it's the world is rolling over to an eastern dominated world you can't stop it even war can't stop it the east will dominate the world for 500 years unless jesus christ comes back which I hope he does quickly but if he doesn't if he lets this go on the next 500 years will be ruled by the east and then there'll be another and then there'll be and then it'll roll back to the west that's just the history of human civilization but within within that 500 year cycle there's also a cycle of roughly about 300 years for empires and so the roman empire greek empire uh british empire the american empire

spain ruled the world for about 300 years. And then they become so corrupt and bloated that they implode. That's where America's at right now. We're bloated, we're corrupt, and we're imploding. People have been saying for years, asking, when's America going to fall? It already fell. Just look around you. Look at the condition of America. It's already

fallen. What else has to happen? Society has collapsed. Our society has collapsed. And so we're in the death gurgle stage. America in the West is lying there on the floor with the death gurgle stage america and the west was lying there on the floor

with the death gurgle coming out of it we're in the bread and circus stage yes but it's got a gun in its hand yes and it's got enough strength in the corpse to pull the trigger and that's what's happening right now with world war three they're ready to fight and pull the trigger to desperately hold on to power, but they can't. Just the history of human civilization says the power is going to roll over to the east for the next 500 years. So it's really being fought about money, banking, political power. That's what the war is about. And so that article from the London Times says that Russia and Iran have now connected their banking systems to avoid Western sanctions. This is a big story here, whether you realize it or not.

That's today, Doc. Yes. So the change allows transfers between the two countries without using the Belgian-based SWIFT payment system that connects banks globally and often uses America as an intermediary country. Now, hold on for just a moment. We've only been talking about this for several years now. Now it's finally happened. Countries are bypassing SWIFT. Yes. They don't need it. Mark this day. They don't need it. The Iranian banks no longer need to use SWIFT with Russian banks,

which can be for the opening of letters of credit and transfers or warranties. And that's coming from Monson Karimi, the deputy governor of Iran's central bank, and speaking to Fars News Agency. According to Karimi, about 800 banks, including 106 non-Russian banks, will be connected to the Iranian system. Understand, folks, something big happened today with this agreement. Because there will be other countries that will be joining this non-Swift alliance.

Because they're also being held hostage by Swift as well. They don't have to do their inter-country international trades in dollars and they don't have to send the money through a western control banking wire system right done with america done with the dollar they're just done with it they're they're fed up with it because the world is tired of the American thugs acting like a bunch of mafia goons, threatening to break the kneecaps off of countries if they don't bow down and do what America tells them to do. And so they're building their own system. I've been talking about that on this program since at least 2008.

I know that I was talking about it in 2008. And it has been quietly building. So now we're seeing it today. That story was published today. We're seeing it actually developing, being rolled out today in real time. And the BRICS conference is coming up later this year. You can bet that's going to be a big topic. And don't forget that just a month ago, the Saudi Arabians said,

we're open for discussion to other countries. We may not want the U.S. petrodollar anymore. We're entertaining ideas. We're entertaining proposals there's a day coming soon when the u.s petrodollar is going to vanish and when it does a loaf of bread is going to cost about ten thousand dollars you haven't seen inflation until the petrodollar dies because there's nothing backing the U.S. dollar except lead. We don't have gold to back the dollar. We use the military lead. Do what we say or we'll blow you up. Well, the world is starting to say we're tired of it. We're not going to take this

stuff anymore. And they're developing their own financial systems that they don't need the United States and Europe to tell them what to do. Another story. This is out of Japan today. Russia and Iran eye trade route with India to bypass sanctions. This is big. And so Russia and Iran are working on a new shipping corridor that cuts Europe and its sanctions out of the picture and are looking to partner with India, which has kept its distance from the Western-led isolation campaign against the two countries. The plan is an answer to the U.S.-led push for friend-shoring in an effort to relocate supply chains to allies and friendly countries. I know we only have a little bit of time here left, Rick, but your thoughts on this as we... Well, the fact that they're bringing in India, this is a new trade route. Iran,

Russia, and India working together to build a transportation system. Their own belt and road. Yes, their own belt and road. They can move products between the three countries. It says that, I don't know if you mentioned this, construction is underway

on the 3,300 kilometers of railroads through Iran. 6,000 kilometers of highways are under construction. 1,000 kilometers set to finish by March. A four-lane highway linking the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf opened in 2022. It says the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum said it will import 9 million cubic meters of Russian natural gas per day through Azerbaijan. So that's another player in this as well.

Iran's national oil company and state-owned Russian energy giant Gazprom signed a deal with Iran worth over $40 billion. All right, we'll give you a headline to make you laugh. This one is hilarious to me. Washington, this is the London Telegraph. Russia might not have invaded Ukraine without Brexit, said Guy Verhofstadt. He's the European bureaucrat who was in charge

of negotiating for the EU during the Brexit negotiations. He came out today and he said putin would never have invaded ukraine if great britain had not voted to leave the european union i know and i saw the headlines and they're just gonna putin does everything bad all right um boris johnson wrote a editorial for editorial for The Washington Post saying Putin has paved the way for Ukrainian membership in NATO. And then one more. This is from NHK TV Tokyo. Leaders agree to strengthen Japan-NATO ties.

So we're going to see an Asian NATO rise up. So NATO is expanding. The king of the north. I really think NATO is the king of the north. It's in Daniel. The king of the north is spreading its tentacles all over the world. What I know is that this whole world is coming to an end. And Jesus Christ is coming in.

His kingdom is coming in. it shall have no end. Thank you for watching True News. Don't go away. Morning Manor is coming up right now. Welcome to Morning Manor.

Now, Doc and I, Doc Burkhart, my co-host, Dr. Raymond Burkhart, we all call him Doc. We have been talking this week on Daniel 11,

verses 32 through 35. And so far we've only made it to verse 32. Doc, so we have a lot packed in for today. We probably won't get to all of it today. Well, this will continue for several days. No set schedule. We're just going to flow in the Holy Spirit and teach as the Lord instructs us. And so if it takes us a week to get through these scriptures, that's fine with us. We want to impart this knowledge unto you.

I am of the belief that there is a Daniel 11 church that is about to be raised up by the Lord in the world today. And that's why we're devoting our time to Daniel 11, verses 32 through 35, because many Christians are perplexed, troubled, confused about what's happening in the world, particularly in our country, the United States of America. There's been an explosion of wickedness, of perverse ideas, of apostasy in the church, doctrines of devils. And a lot of good Christian

people are wondering, what is happening? How do we overcome it? I believe that there is insight, there's wisdom in Daniel 11 verses 32 through 35 for us today. And I believe the Holy Spirit is now bringing forth Daniel 11 churches all over the world that will stand against this tsunami of apostasy and false doctrines. Now, we're not going to talk anymore today about verse 32, but we're going to read verse 32 with the rest of the verses, Daniel 11, 32 through 35. So, Doc, would you read that for us? please? Yes, so this is Daniel chapter 11. And as such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries.

But the people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits. And they that are wise among the people shall instruct many. Yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help,

but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries. And some of them that are wise shall fall to refine them and to purify and to make them white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time appointed. That's Daniel 11, 32 through 35. All right, Doc, there are prophecies in the Old Testament that I believe

are dual fulfillment prophecies where they were fulfilled in the Old Testament and yet they're going to be fulfilled again in the New Testament age as we approach the second advent of Christ. This one, what we're reading in Daniel 11, this actually may be a triple fulfillment prophecy. Has it already been fulfilled? And is it being fulfilled now? Well, a lot of commentators out there, especially those 1700s, 1800s,

they felt like this passage in Daniel had been fulfilled in... Antiochus. Yes, in the intertestamental period, the time between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Antiochus was the type of Antichrist. Right, and that he had spoiled the temple, that if you ever read Maccabees,

1 and 2 Maccabees, some of that story is told in those books there. But we also read in the New Testament, Rick, where Peter and Paul and John the Revelator, all three of them reference Daniel directly. This particular passage of Daniel, Daniel chapter 11 and 12, as if it was occurring in their time period as well. Sir Isaac Newton, the great scientist, mathematician, he believed that Daniel 11 was for apostolic times.

For the time. For the time of the apostles. Okay. So, well, Isaac Newton's a pretty smart guy. But we also see information in here that some things appear yet to be fulfilled, perhaps in our day. And we see, whether it is in our day or not, what we can learn from Daniel chapter 11 is that this was a time of apostasy that Daniel was prophesying about,

that he saw a man of sin, a man of flattery, that would be persecuting the holy ones, the saints. And that can be applied to this day as well. We are certainly living in an age of apostasy. So the Jewish church of God in the time of Daniel, they witnessed the fulfillment of Daniel 11. The apostles in the new covenant age witnessed the fulfillment of Daniel 11. And we in the last days are once again experiencing Daniel 11, 32 through 35.

Is that a fair analysis of what we're talking about here today? Right. It's really exciting to think that God just looks at the entire spectrum of time and he sees all, he knows all and gives us the opportunity to be able to look into the future with him and say, these are things that are going to be happening that you can prepare for. The hearts of men have not changed since the time of Daniel or the time of the apostles or to this day. We're dealing with the very same issues and the very same, if you will, man of sin, Satan. He hasn't gone away.

He hasn't gone away. He's still the enemy and he is still persecuting the Daniel 11 group. That's right. Well, let's break this down. We'll start with Daniel 11, verse 33. Okay, and this is from the American Standard Version. And they that are wise among the people shall instruct many, yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil many days. All right, Doc, the first thing I see here is that the reference to they that are wise is referring to the people in verse 32.

Right. And who are those wise people? The people who know their God. Right. That's pretty wise, isn't it? Yes. So if you know your God, you're wise. And how do we, where does wisdom begin? It begins in the fear of God. And we read that in Psalm 111.10. It says, the fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding have all they that do his commandments.

His praise endureth forever. So they that know their God, Rick, as we read in Daniel 11.32, are those that fear their God as well. They're wise in that. as we read in Daniel 11, 32, are those that fear their God as well. They're wise in that. And then Isaiah, Old Testament prophet Isaiah, who prophesied of the coming of the Messiah,

the Lord Jesus Christ, he talked about a branch coming forth from Jesse. And it is found in Isaiah 11, verses 1 and 2. And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stalk of Jesse, and a branch out of his root shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might,

the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah. So who is the shoot out of the stalk of Jesse, Rick? It's obvious. It's the Lord Jesus Christ. And the Holy Spirit's resting upon him. So you have, this is one of those pre-New Testament pictures of the Trinity, too, here in Isaiah. That you see Jehovah, you see Jesus, you see the Holy Spirit in there, all encapsulated. So you can't separate one from the other. So the people that know their God have a relationship with that root out of the stock of Jesse, have a fear of Jehovah. And therefore they have wisdom. The spirit of wisdom

upon them. Now this word, the Hebrew word used for wisdom, it's a verb and it's used in other scriptures in the Old Testament. In Joshua chapter one, verse seven says, only be strong and very courageous. Be careful to do according to all the law, which Moses, my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left so that you may have success wherever you go. So this word success, wherever you go, this is the verb for wisdom. It implies that those who have godly wisdom

shall be successful in the works that they do in God's name. We also see it in Proverbs 10, 5. It says, he that gathereth in summer is a wise son, but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causes shame. Again, it's the same word for wise that we see in Daniel 11, 33. Now, the people who are wise will instruct many. The wise people are instructing many. That's a really important concept to see. There will be apostasy. Yes.

There will be false doctrines, doctrines of men, doctrines of devils. There'll be all kinds of worldly beliefs that are ascending in the world where the knowledge of God is being suppressed by the ideals, the views of the world, the philosophies of men will ascend and overshadow the word of God. And that's when you have the apostasy, you have rebellion, you have sin. The people are turning away from God. This is what's happened in America in the past. It's been taking place, Doc, for 50 years.

I mean, I've watched it since as a little kid. I went to public school in Western Maryland. So I started elementary school in the late 50s. It's a long time ago. Our public school, Doc, started every day with the Lord's Prayer, Bible reading, and the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Public school in Maryland.

The Lord's Prayer, Bible reading, and the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Public school in Maryland. The Lord's Prayer, Bible reading, and the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. That was standard for public schools in Maryland in the late 50s and the early 60s. And then a communist atheist, Madeleine Murray O'Hare, filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court,

and the Supreme Court ruled that prayer and Bible reading in public school was unconstitutional, and the schools did away with the Word of God and with prayer. Now, watch what, just look at what happened to America from 1962. You look at the statistics of crime, children born out of wedlock, drug use, alcoholism. Just look at what has happened to this country since 1962. America departed from the ways of God. Yes.

We departed from the ways of God. Yes. We departed from the commandments of God. And here we are now in 2023, and we're wicked. We're rebellious. We're just absolutely lost in sin and rebellion as a nation. Our leaders don't know what to do. Many of our leaders are corrupt. Many of the preachers are either silent

because they're afraid to say something or they don't have an answer. Right. It's definitely an age of apostasy. It is an age of apostasy and rebellion. The wise, the people of God who know their God, they don't pull a blanket over their head. Right. They don't sleep in the harvest. They don't crawl under the table and go, oh my God, what

are we going to do? This has become so wicked. What are we going to do? No, there's the opportunity in this. The opportunity is harvest. Dayspring into action. Right. The wise, the people who know their God. And there are people, you're watching me right now, you know your God. And right now you're listening and you're in your home and you're saying, amen, brother. I know my God. I know Jesus Christ. I know his word. I know his spirit. I know his faithfulness. I know my God. I'm talking about you, you and me and doc, those of us who know our God, this is our, this is our hour. Yes. This is our time. It's hot dog.

It's harvest time. You better believe it. Doc, it's like the people who are wise and know their God are like Holy Ghost firemen. And the firehouse bell rings. It's a five alarm fire. And the firemen come down that pole

and they're putting on their boots and their helmet and they're getting on that fire truck and it's, man, this is what we were born to do. Right. That's what the fireman is for. We're born to fight fires. They can't wait for that fire truck to arrive at that five alarm fire.

They spring in there. They don't stand there and go, oh my God, this is a five story building. It's on fire. I mean, look at the smoke, look at the fire, look at the flame. Those firemen are trained. They're trained. They're motivated. They're not afraid of fire. Man, they go in the fire, doc. They go in the fire to rescue those who are going to burn to death in the fire. And there are people who are going to burn to death in hell. They're going to burn in the lake of fire forever. And you and I are trained to go into fire and get them.

They're in the fire right now in this world. But there's a greater fire coming for them. There's a greater fire waiting for them. There's a greater fire waiting for them, but they're living in fire right now. Their marriages are on fire. Their businesses are on fire. Their families are on fire. You and I who know our God, we're trained as firefighters to go in to the fire right now and rescue them. How are we going to do it? We're going to teach them the word of God. We're going to teach them the ways of God.

We're going to teach them the commandments of God. And we're going to disciple them in the ways of the Lord. We're going to baptize them. We're going to dunk them in the water and get them all wet in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. We're going to make disciples of them. That's what we do in this age. That's how you turn this country around. You can't do it with politics. You can't do it by electing someone you think is going to be a king for you. I don't care how good the man or woman is. It's too rotten right now for one person to change this mess. No political party can do it.

No political movement can do it. Only a movement of the Holy Spirit can change this country. And the only way the Holy Spirit is going to move is if God's people move. That's the problem right now. God's people aren't moving. The moment God's people, the people who know their Lord, the people who are wise, why are they wise? They fear God. They fear Jehovah. They know his commandments. They obey his commandments. When they spring into action, the Holy Spirit springs into action. There's a lot of people sitting around waiting on God to do something.

I hear people say, we've got to have a big old prayer meeting. What are you going to pray about? God's, you know, the Lord is saying, I'm waiting on my church to get up and do something. And I'll be there with you. I'll back you all the way. But he wants his saints out in the forefront, leading the charge, carrying the cross. We conquer by this sign. We conquer by the cross. We can conquer the devil in America.

We can conquer the devil in Mexico. We can conquer the devil in Spain and Australia by this sign, the cross. But God's people have got to get some backbone and some unction and get up off the sofa and do something instead of just sitting there watching Fox News and saying, ain't things really bad?

Well, guess what? Next year, they're going to be worse than they are today. You just sit there and keep watching Fox News and watch how bad it gets. It's not going to change until God's people get up. Let's do something in this land that makes the news networks cover the church. Right. You notice the churches aren't in the news anymore. They're irrelevant. Completely irrelevant.

Yes. We discovered during the COVID cover-up that you can shut all the churches down in America and it won't make a difference. And a lot of them never reopened. Yes. And a lot of people never went back to church. Let's go further in this.

We're at, we're talking about the people who know their God. We're talking about the people who go into action. Well, it says in verse 33 there, Rick, and if we could put that back up on the screen, please. It says, yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil many days.

Rick, it's not going to be easy. It's not going to be easy for those that are called to teach others. It's not going to be easy at all. In fact, there's going to be some that get set back. Not a cakewalk. There are going to be righteous men and women who are going to lose their fortunes,

be imprisoned, or lose their fortunes, be imprisoned, or lose their lives. Good, righteous men and women doing bold things for God and they're going to suffer greatly. And when these things happen, we are not to faint. We are not to succumb to fear

and apprehension and discouragement. The Bible says some will fall. This doesn't mean fall to sin. It means fall on the battlefield. Right. Getting knocked down, getting, you know, like in a boxing match, getting a punch and getting hit. You have to hit the mat. It's not in the sense of falling away, a sense of, you know, yes, there's going to be times

that the fight is going to knock the wind out of you. Some won't make it. And heaven will provide some help. Heaven's going to provide some help, but not, and this is one of the tough things that Christians have to deal with, Rick, because they don't know how they'll stand during times of persecution.

Some think if persecution comes, I might fall away, you know, in the sense of losing my salvation. Those are things that you're going to have to come to grips with. Do you know your God? Do you fear your God? Because the fear of God will pick you back up off that mat and get back into the fight.

The fear of God would cause you to crawl if you can't walk. The fear of God would cause you to whisper when you can't yell. Your love of God, your devotion to him, your loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ should be so deep, so strong that there is not one thing on this earth that could make you fall away from him. Yes. If you know your God, if you know him, and he is intimately involved in your life and you are intimately involved in your life, and you are intimately involved in his life, nothing, nothing can make you deny his name. Nothing can make you put down your cross and say, this is too hard for me.

I'm just going to be silent. I'm just going to go. I'm just going to wait on the rapture to come and get me. That's where a lot of people are at right now. That's sleeping during the harvest. Yes, they're sleeping because they were trained. They were educated in church. You will never experience tribulation. You will never experience persecution. You're going to be raptured and taken away and nothing's going to happen to you. And yet there's not one scripture in the Bible that says that there's a secret pre-tribulation rapture

of the church seven years before the second coming of Jesus Christ. If you can show me where Jesus Christ said, I'm coming back twice. I'm coming back secretly and grabbing the church. Then there's gonna be a span of seven years of tribulation. Then I'll be back. Don't worry, I'll be back again.

Show me where it says that in the Bible. And yet preachers stand in their pulpit and tell their congregations that's what it says. Yes. Well, show me, pastor. Show me the verse that Jesus said, I'm coming back twice. I'd like to see it. It's not there. It's time to train the church that we're going to go through rough times. The rough times have already started. It has already started, even in America. They're not at the point yet of killing us yet, but they are killing our reputations. They are ostracizing us.

They are deplatforming us. I've been kicked off so many social media platforms. I've been kicked off some of them several times. I don't care. And they're corralling us into tighter and tighter digital ghettos. That's right. They're digital ghettos. Okay, you can be in this little part of the Internet, but you can't go anyplace else.

That's right. You're cordoned off from the rest of, you know, the rest of the social media world. They've already started implementing the social media scores that China has. China gives people social media scores, credit, a social media credit score. Okay. Do you say things against the government?

Oh, your score goes Okay. Do you say things against the government? Oh, your score goes down. Did you participate in an activity that is banned, like going to church? Oh, your score goes down. Your social credit score in China affects your ability to move about, to get jobs. To get a train ticket. To get a train ticket. To get a train ticket. To get on a plane. But that's China, Rick. That could never happen here. No, the China way is being implemented by American traders in this country.

They're implementing the China communist way in this country. The church is being locked down and they don't even know it. They don't even know it. You know, people talk about the frog in the boiling pot. You know, you put a frog in a pot and turn up the heat slowly, you know. Well, you know what you get when you boil frog long enough? Frog broth. And right now, that's what we have in America. The church is floating around in a pot

of frog broth because we've been boiled for so long at low simmering heat that we don't even realize at this point that the church has been captured in this country. It's time to break out of it. Yes. Break out of it. Break out of it. Get out of this digital straitjacket the devil has put on us. It is time to speak up. Daniel 11, there's a Daniel 11 church coming. Not just one. There's going to be thousands of Daniel 11 churches

pop up all over America and the entire world. The body of Christ is going to stand up and become the voice of God in this land. That's what's missing right now. People need to speak the word of God, speak it outside of their home, outside of their church. That's what the world is saying. We don't want to hear this stuff about your God. You can't say it. Well, too bad. We're going to say it publicly. I'm saying it right now on international television. And there are people right now pulling their hair out. They can't stand it. There's one of these Christians. How did he get loose? It's like a chimpanzee got loose out of the zoo. We got to catch him and put him back in the zoo. Well, try it.

You can't do it. I'm going to speak and I'm going to proclaim the word of the Lord. And I'm going to stir up the church of God every place I go until revival breaks out in this land, until people are talking about Jesus day and night. That's what I want. I want Jesus Christ to be glorified and lifted up and exalted and all men shall be drawn unto him. We got to go. We'll see you tomorrow. God bless.
